Dan,

According to GIO, if someone changes something on their main profile, it will propagate downstream to all the group profiles, as long as that changed field hasn't already been customized:

/account?page=viewprofile

You can customize your profile for each group you are subscribed to. Changes made to your account profile will automatically apply to each group profile, with the exception of those specific fields in each group profile that you've previously customized.


After looking at the text above, it doesn't clarify if the customization will be preserved whether it was customized by the member or by a mod, so I was curious and did a quick test, and if the mod changes someone's display name or other profile setting, any changes by the member on their root GIO profile will overwrite the group profile, but if it was changed by the member themselves, it will not be overwritten ...?I learned something new today!

Cheers,
Christos
